Customers rave about how easy this machine is to operate, from its detailed instruction manual to automatic needle threader with threading diagrams, it makes sewing incredibly easy, no matter what your skill level.
Easy to Use Right from the Beginning

The automatic bobbin winding system evenly winds bobbins for an optimal sewing experience. Your machine won’t jam, and your thread won’t break. It ensures a smooth performance every time.
Contains Features for Novices and Advanced Users
Don’t you hate it when the line you had just sewn isn’t completely straight? Perhaps you are new and are concerned that you won’t be able to sew in a straight line.
- Measured Guide Marks: The measured guide marks found on the needle plate accompanied by the big workspace ensures that straight lines are sewn each time, and seam allowances are even.
- Adjustable Sewing Speed Control: The adjustable speed for stitching allows the user to be in full control of their project. It will not allow you to go too fast if you are newer, or too slow so that you won’t be able to finish your project on time.
